National/Regional/Local PPOs
PPOs (Preferred Provider Organizations) were put into place to produce medical provider bills below State Fee Schedule or Usual and Customary Charges. A certified Workers Comp PPO is a plan that provides or arranges for the coordination and delivery of services under the law to diagnose, treat and rehabilitate claimants requiring medical treatment for an occupational disease or injury arising out of the course of employment.
